The Neverending Connect the Lyrics Game

(Sorry Rainer, I've got no clue. Can we continue with the game?)

Calling out around the world
Are you ready for a brand new beat
Summer's here and the time is right
For dancing in the streets
They're dancing in Chicago
Down in New Orleans
In New York City

All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
They'll be swinging, swaying, records playing,
Dancing in the street, oh

It doesn't matter what you wear, just as long as you are there
So come on, every guy, grab a girl, everywhere, around the world
They'll be dancing, dancing in the street

It's an invitation across the nation, a chance for folks to meet
They'll be laughing and singing, music swinging
Dancing in the street

Philadelphia, PA
Baltimore in DC now
Don't forget the motor city
On the streets of Brazil
Back in the USSR
No matter where you are

All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
They'll be swinging, swaying, records playing
Dancing in the street, oh

It doesn't matter what you wear
Just as long as you are there
So come on every guy, grab a girl, everywhere, around the world
They'll be dancing, dancing in the streets

Way down in L.A., everyday
Dancing in the streets
Cross in China too
Me and you
Dancing in the street

Don't you know
They'll be dancing
Dancing in the street (repeat)

Hi,

and sorry, I've been offline for a few days due to several obligations.

The solution:

JOE SMOOTH
Promised Land
Vocals by Anthony Edwards.

It wasn't truly fair, next time I will choose a song which is more likely to be known!

The lyrics you quoted above remind me of 'Mick Jagger [and David Bowie???] with 'Dancing In The Street'!

Another?

Kind regards,
Rainer
aka

That's very estute. That's exactly what they are. Rainer, if you go to the first post in this thread, you'll find the rules to this game. I like your game in concept. Maybe you should start a thread of your own.

Well i'm about to get sick
From watchin' mtv
I been checkin' out the ho ho ho
Until my eyeballs fail to see
I mean to say that every day
Is just another rotten group
(right you are, girl)
And when it's gonna change, my friend
Will probably make you stoop
I don't know, so i'm
Watchin' and i'm waitin'
Hopin' for the best
Even think i'll go to prayin'
Every time i hear 'em sayin'
There's no way to delay
That trouble comin' every day
No way to delay that trouble
Comin' every day
Wednesday i watched the riot
I seen those cops out on the street
I watched 'em throwin' rocks & stuff & chokin'
In the heat
I listen to reports
About the whisky passin' 'round
I seen the smoke & fire
And the market burnin' down
Watched while everybody
On his street would ha ha ha
To stomp & smash & bash & crash & slash & bust & burn
And i'm
Watchin' and i'm waitin'
Hopin' for the best
Even think i'll go to prayin'
Every time i hear 'em sayin'
There's no way to delay
That trouble comin' every day
There's no way to delay
That trouble comin' every day
I'm watchin' and i'm waitin'
Hopin' for the best
Even think i'll go to prayin'
Every time i hear 'em sayin'

Bob Dylan- 'Trouble'


Trouble in the city, trouble in the farm,
You got your rabbit's foot, you got your good-luck charm.
But they can't help you none when there's trouble.

Trouble,
Trouble, trouble, trouble,
Nothin' but trouble.

Trouble in the water, trouble in the air,
Go all the way to the other side of the world, you'll find trouble there.
Revolution even ain't no solution for trouble.

Trouble,
Trouble, trouble, trouble,
Nothin' but trouble.

Drought and starvation, packaging of the soul,
Persecution, execution, governments out of control.
You can see the writing on the wall inviting trouble.

Trouble,
Trouble, trouble, trouble,
Nothin' but trouble.

Put your ear to the train tracks, put your ear to the ground,
You ever feel like you're never alone even when there's nobody else around?
Since the beginning of the universe man's been cursed by trouble.

Trouble,
Trouble, trouble, trouble,
Nothin' but trouble.

Nightclubs of the broken-hearted, stadiums of the damned,
Legislature, perverted nature, doors that are rudely slammed.
Look into infinity, all you see is trouble.

Trouble,
Trouble, trouble, trouble,
Nothin' but trouble.

We got trouble
Right here in River City
With a capital T and that rhymes with P and that stands for POOL

Troubles by Harry Belafonte

Troubles
Any old troubles
Give me your troubles one by one
I'll trade 'em all for a bag of fun
Any old troubles

The ants go marching one by one
Hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching one by one
Hurrrah, hurrah
The ants go marching one by one
The little one stops to suck his thumb
And they all go marching
Down in the ground...

When Johnny comes marching home again, hurrah, hurrah

Johnny Angel, how I love him
He's got something that I can't resist
But he doesn't even know that I-I-I exist

he's got the whole world - in his hands
he's got the whole world - in his hands
he's got the whole world - in his hands
he's got the whole world in his hands...

God's hands
God's eyes
We are God's hands
We are God's hands

George Harrison

The lord loves the one that loves
The lord
And the law says if you don't give,
Then you don't get loving

Now the lord helps those that help
Themselves
And the law says whatever you do
Is going to come right back on you

We all making out
Like we own this whole world
While the leaders of nations
They're acting like big girls
With no thoughts for their god
Who provides us with all
But when death comes to claim them
Who will stand,
And who will fall?

The lord loves the one that loves
The lord
And the law says if you don't give,
Then you don't get loving

Mercedes Benz - Janis Joplin

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?
My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends.
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends,
So Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a color TV?
Dialing For Dollars is trying to find me.
I wait for delivery each day until three,
So oh Lord, won't you buy me a color TV?

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a night on the town?
I'm counting on you, Lord, please don't let me down.
Prove that you love me and buy the next round,
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a night on the town?

Everybody!
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?
My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends,
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends,
So oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?
That's it!

Oh no, the best that I could think of was 'Simply Red'

Fairground:

It's always friends that feel so good
Let's make amends like all good men should
Pleasure at the fairground on the way

Walk around, be free and roam,
There's always someone leaving alone
Pleasure at the fairground on the way...

Roam
B-52

Roam if you want to
Roam around the world
Roam if you want to
Without Wings without wheel
Roam if you want to
Without anything but the love we feel

Take it hip to hip rock it through the wilderness
Take it hip to hip rock it through the wilderness

Around the world
I have searched for you
I've travelled on
When hope was gone
To keep a rendezvous

Waitin for the love of a travelin soldier
Our love will never end
Waitin for the soldier to come back again
Never more to be alone
The letter said
The soldier's comin home

One Friday night at a football game
Lords prayer said and the anthem sang
A voice said folks would you bow your head
For a list of the local vietnam dead

Cryin all alone under the stand
Was a piccolo player in the marching band......

At the end of a rainbow, you'll find a pot of gold
At the end of a story, you'll find it's all been told
But our love has a treasure our hearts always spend
And it has a story without any end

At the end of a river, the water stops its flow
At the end of a highway, there's no place you can go
But just tell me you love and you are only mine
And our love will go on 'til the end of time

At the end of a river, the water stops its flow
At the end of a highway, there's no place you can go
But just tell me you love and you are only mine
And our love will go on 'til the e-end of time

'Til the end of time

Till the end of time `long as stars are in the blue
`Long as there's a spring, a bird to sing, I'll go on loving you.
Till the end of time. `long as roses bloom in May,
My love for you will go deeper with every passing day.
Till the wells run dry and each mountain disappear,
I'll be there for you to care for you through laughter and through tears.
So take my hand in sweet surrender, and tenderly say that I'm
The one you'll love and live for, till the end of time.
